Still nothing....

I went to the Doctor again today hoping something had changed and nothing has! I am still not dilated and basically all the way efaced. I am going in again next Wednesday to see if anything has changed. If nothing has I will go Friday night and they will give me a pill to help start me then will induce me Saturday morning (the 20th). My cervix is tipped so in order for me to go into labor on my own I will have to get some really strong contractions. Basically he told me he is planning on seeing me at my next appointment. Even though I know I will have her within 11 days I am so done being pregnant and just want her here! If anyone has any suggestions on things that might help get me dilated let me know. I am willing to try anything at this point!

I remember those last days they were by far the hardest of the entire pregnancy! Don't worry before you know it she will be here! I knew how to help you get her here faster I tried all the tricks with Sienna! Maybe we should go get a pedicure this week they say there are pressure points in your feet that can make you go into labor let me know if you want to!

I know how you feel, in my own sort of way. Going over your due date is no fun, but she will be here before you know it! If you do have to be induced, don't worry too much, at least you'll be out of the hospital by Christmas! Good luck, hope to see pictures soon!!!

So I haven't tried this, but it worked for Becky (my hair dressers) sister Megan...remember her? Anyway, she chugged castro oil. I was so tempted to do this with Slade. I got to nervous though because it totally cleanses you out if you know what I mean! I think it makes you feel pretty crummy. But she claims it put her into labor. Who knows? Good luck though Annie. Can't wait to see pics!!!

Don't worry.....it will come, even though it seems you will be forever pregnant. Can't wait to see the little one!

The Caster or castro oil...whatever Rach called it, is very successful. I have two friends that do it and it works everytime. You just put a little bit in orange juice.

Annie!
What a bummer. But it really be here before you know it. I know that does not help! You are such a trooper. The only thing my Doc said that really is proven and safe.... the one thing that got you where you are now. Ha Ha. I am sure that is the LAST thing you want to do now. Good luck. I have been thinking of you all morning. I was going to call your Mom.

My best friends swears that something in pizza puts you into labor. I just walked super fast around the mall or neighborhood like 3 times, and I had all my kids three weeks early. Seriously, I think walking super fast works. Doing the ditty has also been said to help.
Good luck, I am soooo excited for you!
